Philosophy - September 2006

All I like to do on ANSWERS anymore is ask an occasional question, and maybe answer a question here and there. It seems like the thrill (if you can call it that) is gone. How did I lose interest in accumulating points?

Is our apparent human maliciousness a trait inherited from a more underlying universal design, or even a natural outcome of the organic evolution (dynamics) of the substances of the Universe? Or do you think maliciousness is merely a human perception and the Universe itself is truly beyond Good and Evil? Can our very existence, at least in part, define the nature of the Universe?

I think that all races in this world should not be categorized and stereotyped because we all are not perfect.

In the Old Testament God was always turning up as burning bushes and the like, sending mana from heaven, or talking directly to people etc. So those old Hebrews had no reason to believe in God 'cos you don't need to believe in something you can see. For example, I don't believe in my computer - it's right there in front of me, I know it's there. The God of today seems to require faith from his followers and isn't so obviously visible. Is that enough? Is that fair? Or have I got that wrong. NB You'll see from previous posts I'm an atheist, but I'm not bashing anyones beliefs here, just asking a good ol philosophical question.

The reason I want to know is that I get so tired of women hating you because you are you. It's time for women to grow up and realize that we should not hate and talk about each other (even though it may be fun lol :) ), but just kidding.

Is it OK to prevent somebody from causing huge economic damage? One life ended to save $1 million? $1 billion? $100 billion? By economic damage I mean destruction of economic, social, or natural resources.

Is an idea original or not? It seems to me that you can take either one of two solid positions that every idea is or (close to) none at all. What's your input? Please logically explain your position.

To the winners go the spoils I suppose. Most citizens of North America (including me) benefit greatly from the genocide inflicted on the Native Americans. Can that justify it?

case in point: my friend was new in town and got lost while riding the buses. he walked into a papa john's to ask for directions; they all ignored him. he tried to wave down cars and nobody would stop. finally someone did and he said, "could you help me? i'm lost." they said, "so?" and drove off laughing. so, tell me, why are americans so friggin nice?

I have noticed that quite alot of ppl post horrible answers to legitimate questions about Jesus. I am Christian but respect all ppl and religions. I would never insult anyone for their religious belief. It disturbs me that there are ppl with such lack of respect. I think their blatent disrespect of others gives them joy. One day I think they will be sorry though...........
